XCOPY won't work

[Mike Morse]

When I run XCOPY to copy from developement to live server I keep getting
Access denied Unable to create directory - <mydirectoryname> 0 File(s)
copied

Also in vs.net if I go to project > copy project this returns a Access
Denied as well.

My user account is a domain admin as well as local admin on the live server.
Is there something else i'm missing?

Thanks

Hi Mike,

Thanks for posting. As I understand, when you tried to deploy the web
project with XCOPY, you get "Access Denied".

This is most likely caused by permission issues. How do you share the
folder? Does it allow "Change"? Note that the share permission is different
from the NTFS permission.

Please double-check the point.

Hi Felix,

I am having a simular problem to Mike's and would like a reply... I am
trying to use XCOPY to copy from a network file server and getting the
same error. If I copy from a local drive, all works well.

Any help is appreciated!
